I never doubted it! But the ratios from yours were gambled but there is nothing wrong with that - people understood what you tried to say. But it is just too easy to judge this from our position how much more expensive the Bone-chip is because for this we would need further details we will never get :)

You don't need more detail than the number of transistors do know that the Xbone's chip will be more expensive like you don't know mode details to know that GDDR5 is more expensive than DDR3 too.

But there is no direct relation to "number of transistors" = costs. I don't say it won't cost more but we don't have actual numbers to say how much. Saying "more expensive" is also true if the difference would be 2 cents per chip (yes, it is more). The interesting question would be "how much more" and this is what we don't have and probably never will (actual numbers, not estimates from websites or forum-users).
